Arch Linux User Repository

@morpheusthewhite You may want to update the pkgver to reflect the last branch change. The new branch's lower commit count relative to the AUR pkgver results in constant rebuilds from my AUR helper (Paru).

Already fixed on my machine, but could prevent annoyance for others.

Hello,

I tried to build this package with pamac, I get an error saying: build cache is required, but could not be located: GOCACHE is not defined and neither $XDG_CACHE_HOME nor $HOME are defined ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

I'm new to Linux,

How can I fix this?

@ibrokemypie now your PKGBUILD works correctly on my machine (I can't remember the previous error, but was related to the version): I just pushed it. Thank you for your suggestion

actually, just changing the cd "$srcdir" in the pkgver function to cd "$pkgname" works

@morpheusthewhite what exactly was wrong with the pkgver fucntion? I took it from the arch wiki wage here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#The_pkgver()_function The current function doesnt actually produce a version, jist r.-1 every time, meaning the package is never actually rebuilt because the pkgver function reports the same version, meaning it never actually updates, you can see the output here:

@ibrokemypie I updated the PKGBUILD not to use the master archive anymore but I didn't changed the pkgver() since the one you provided doesn't work. Thank you for your help

Currently the pkgver function doesn't work correctly, this is partly due to downloading the master archive rather than using git? Ive made some changes to the PKGBUILD file below which fix the problem and also uses git to download the source following the guidelines set out by the arch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#Git

}

it would be great if you could update the pkgbuild for the package as such to fix updating (currently package managers will always try to update the package, but the build package has the same name and broken version as the currently installed package, so updates aren't actually installed)

@morpheusthewhite Thank you. I alredy fixed it by manually doing the commands and only used this to get the Themes :D

If you find problems with Dribblish theme, beware: even when if you install this packet you need to follow instructions in its README to apply it.

@matthaigh it is not necessary, there is a pkkgver() function delegated of fetching the latest package version. Anyway I also updated pkgver variable, even if not necessary
